'The pointy end goes in the other man' :P Hallo there PWO.
And echoing the well wishing for AK.
I talked with Alex again today and he has had a setback and is back in the ICU. :(

Got some internet access finally off phone.
Most of the time i'm plugged into an oxygen machine doing a lot of the breathing for me.
Perking up a bit today but don't want to make any commitments at the moment, I was on a 5 day streak of recovering and then crashed HARD yesterday...
Great that you found us PWO! E-mail updates for PM's is such a basic, basic feature this forum should have...
Hello Akirra, Qhude and all. Feels strange but good to be here again.
Take it easy boss we can entertain ourselves 'til you are back in mid-season form.

AK. A breathing machine must feel deeply odd. Something external taking over such an intimate and familiar function. Odd.

Qhude cracks me up: Yes, wash the magic food with magic; that makes it much better.
First things first...
Take care and get better AK. No worries. We shall be here. :-)
Second things second...
Welcome back Jakob. :-)

Same on both counts Castor.
Brief update. Out of hospital after two weeks last night.
Still weak as a new born pup but plan to resume posting after a week or two of bed rest. Not good for much yet.
Welcome back to the land of the living, AK. Don't push yourself too hard too fast.
Great news!

Hi all,
First of new update cycle will begin on Monday the 18th of March :)
Glad to hear you are feeling well enough to continue!
Kieran/Akirra you both committed to new avatars? Will make tokens for them if so.
Not quite got the update finished as MapTools has been feeding me new errors when I try to lift fog for the room Ansha is exploring. But there will be an update including map update after I sleep :).
I will stick with this new one yes. And welcome back!
Honestly, since I am not feeling any of the new ones, I will stick with the original one. If ever something is added that is closer to Kieran's actual description and feels right, maybe then I will consider a change.
Truly sorry for the slowdown, entirely my fault. Getting my ass kicked by health again, been back in hospital much of this week. Updating on or by the weekend.
Sorry to hear about your health issues, AK. Hope things improve soon for you!
Get healthy boss. Update when you can. We’re here for you.
Sending positive/healing thoughts your way!

Been a couple of weeks since we last heard from you- hope you're doing okay, AK.
Sorry once more for radio silence. I don't really like to check in without much definitive news so sorry for that. Health's been very shaky as i've now been weaned to a very low dose of steroids. Updating as soon as I get a handle on health again.
So Sargava seems to be gone in the new edition. :\
It's okay, AK. Letting us know you're still alive and kicking is good, though. :)
As for Sargava, it looks like it's now called Vidrian? Can't same I'm all that excited about 2E anyway.
I have no intentions of switching to 2E but will probably check it out though.
Out of curiosity, PWO, did you end up completing your Master in Library Science? Quite unexpectedly, I ended up a library director about a month ago.

Congratulations Ansha!
Yes I am a fully fledged librarian. Not doing anything with the degree which is a shame and the cause of some lamentations in the wee hours.
But life goes on.
At the moment life is heading for a trail in southern Oregon. I’m preparing for a 3 to 4 week walk on the woods starting at the end of this month.
That sounds kinda fun. I'm not too big on hiking, especially since I might have developed exercise-induced asthma in the past couple of years, but I'd love to hit the trails. Just, if it's for more than an hour or so, in a Jeep.
Looks like Baron Utilinus is doomed to failure.
A revolution mounted by the nation's native population overthrew the Chelish colonial government that had ruled for centuries, establishing the new land of Vidrian in Sargava's place. As with all new nations, Vidrian has a long road to stability ahead of it, but its people are hopeful that self-rule will bring about an era of prosperity and innovation. Under the leadership of heroes of the revolution, the ruling council of Anthusis (what used to be Eleder) hopes to establish new trade and military alliances with nations both abroad and in the Expanse, and prevent colonization efforts like that of Sargava from occurring again elsewhere in the Mwangi.
I wonder if we decided to change sides and turn against the government or if we just never found a way out of this damned ziggurat and Morvius couldn't afford a second attempt.
I think the latter is more likely in our case. Trapped in this thing for going on, what, four years now? Hopefully AK is still alive somewhere, or we may end up meeting the fate of the Black Beast of Argh from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
In other news the Gorilla King is dead? - sounds like a fair old shakeup in the jungle and on the plains.
Hey, Ansha, there's a good candidate for an avatar on page 69 of Hellknight Hill: Talindlara Vallindel, an elven cleric of Shelyn.
The Saga fell off into my "Previous Campaigns" tab again. :(
As for Talindlara, I'll have to see about getting a PDF of Hellknight Hill. Hopefully they add the artwork to the list of selectable avatars soon!
Yeah, three months since the last post in gameplay. Hope AK's doing all right.
Talindlara has blue eyes instead of green, but she looks like a pretty decent match otherwise.
Yeah, I hope so too.
Hi all,
Unfortunately, my health has not really improved since the last decline and is likely to be a continual difficulty as the condition diagnosed is chronic. Happy to discuss it more but would want it to be in a less public forum via PM or whatnot.
Sorry for taking so long to respond. I was hoping to see enough signs of response to treatment etc. but I can't in good conscience keep expecting people to accommodate weeks and months of me dipping in and out.
So with a heavy heart, am calling time of death on this game. Sincere thanks to all players and sorry once more.
For any curious parties ref where this game was going plot-wise, am happy to discuss. Funnily enough, Utilinus was doomed to failure in this game also :).
Glad to hear from you and know you're at least semi-OK!
No worries! Health is paramount, so better to take care of yourself rather than the game. As Joana has said, good to know you are at least semi-OK and I wish you the best and to get rid of the semi- as soon as possible!
On a related note, if you do wish to discuss your condition -I am a doctor myself- my PM box is always open and you are always welcome. If not, that is also fine and dandy!
Once more, take care of yourself and we will be around, I am sure.
Glad to hear you're alive, AK. Had me worried for a while. Sorry to hear about the health issues, and hope to see you around the boards at least occasionally. Either way, take care of yourself!
Echoing the words of those above in the knowing that you're doing ok AK.
A bit of an homage to the game, probably one of the last paintings I'll make of Ansha too (not that I can really say for sure, but it seems like my RPing her here and elsewhere is winding down):
Nice! Very nice indeed.
Very glad to hear from you again. I’m sorry the game has officially joined the choir invisible but health is far more important than wax golems and demon apes.
I would love to get a plot rundown. Who set us up to win the contest and why? What is in the ziggurat? And most importantly, how did Picklebeard fit into it all?
Feel as good as you can and thanks for one of the best games I’ve played. Well done sir, well done.
